Personal Prayer
Praise God, the one who is never far away from his children. Thank him for being close to you when you feel brokenhearted or crushed in spirit (Ps. 34:18). Confess your own unwillingness to have a God so near. Commit yourself to drawing near to God in daily prayer and fellowship (Jas. 4:8). Ask him to bless you by his presence throughout your life.

For Your Family and Friends
Pray that believing family members and friends also will draw near to God. Uphold them in their personal devotional lives.

For the Church
Intercede for the great worldwide mission effort of the church. Ask God to raise up more workers to enter the harvest around the world. Pray specifically for missionaries whom you know or support financially.

For the Kingdom
Thank God for the work of chaplains who minister in God’s name in prisons, hospitals, schools, and the armed forces throughout North America. Ask God to bless their work and witness.

For People to Know Jesus
Ask God to enable an unsaved friend you know to reach out to him in faith. Thank God for the promise that those who seek him with a believing heart will find him (Acts 17:27).
